Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The only kind of Christianity in the New Testament is Christianity with power." If you are skeptical about--yet intrigued by--the issue of spiritual power for today, Charles Kraft provides a biblical, reasonable apologetic for a realm too often overlooked. He describes his own paradigm shift concerning the power of Jesus to heal and free others, and explains persuasively why every Christian should be confronted with this "missing dimension." Confronting Powerless Christianity will inspire a more robust faith that is powerful enough to heal, to free people from emotional wounds and to bring about real life change.
Book Synopsis Confronting Christianity by : Rebecca McLaughlin
Download or read book Confronting Christianity written by Rebecca McLaughlin and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2019-04-17 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although many people suggest that Christianity is declining, research indicates that it continues to be the world's most popular worldview. But even so, the Christian faith includes many controversial beliefs that non-Christians find hard to accept. This book explores 12 issues that might cause someone to dismiss orthodox Christianity—issues such as the existence of suffering, the Bible's teaching on gender and sexuality, the reality of heaven and hell, the authority of the Bible, and more. Showing how the best research from sociology, science, and psychology doesn't disagree with but actually aligns with claims found in the Bible, these chapters help skeptics understand why these issues are signposts, rather than roadblocks, to faith in Christ.
Book Synopsis Christianity with Power by : Charles H. Kraft
Download or read book Christianity with Power written by Charles H. Kraft and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2005-07-25 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Power. Politicians crave it. Money buys it. And some people will do anything to get it. In a world where New Agers rely on crystals and channeling to tap into spiritual power, the Christian is reminded that Jesus used supernatural power to heal the sick, cast out demons, and raise the dead. Two thousand years later, the world still desperately needs a Savior who works in power. However, many modern Christians are embarrassed and reluctant to preach a gospel accompanied by supernatural power. Our Western worldview conditions us to fit God into a neat, predictable mold. But Kraft is convinced that the power of the gospel will not be confined to our categories. Step by step, he offers a biblical understanding of signs and wonders and shows how Christians can become God's instruments to heal the sick, to work miracles, and to oppose the counterfeit powers of this age. There is something that makes ['Christianity with Power'] quite possibly great, maybe even a major publishing event to be noted some day when the history of the modern church is written. . . . Kraft helps us as no one else has in understanding our Western worldview in relation to the way the Holy Spirit is working today.Ó --from the Foreword
Book Synopsis Miracles Are for Today by : Troy Edwards
Download or read book Miracles Are for Today written by Troy Edwards and published by Troy Edwards. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries the place of miracles in the church has been debated. This controversy remains in our day. Numerous views and theological positions are advocated in defense or rejection of miracles for today. There are some who believe they are for today, some who outright deny their validity for today, and some who remain unsure. Even among those who believe that God has never ceased working miracles there are a number of perspectives ranging from the idea that they are rare, that they are spontaneous and happen only at God's sovereign whim, and then there are those who believe that a faith-filled group of Christians who believe God's promises can experience them frequently. In his book, Miracles Are For Today, Pastor Troy J. Edwards refutes the idea that God's miracles are only for a past generation and explains from Scripture how God's people can experience frequent miracles in their corporate worship as well as within their personal lives. Get ready to believe God for a miracle today.
Download or read book Facing West written by David R. Swartz and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The dramatic growth of Christianity around the world in the last century has shifted the balance of power within the faith away from the traditional strongholds of Europe and the United States to the Global South. While we typically imagine Western missionaries carrying religion to the ends of the earth, David R. Swartz shows that the line of influence has often run the other way, as evangelicals in nations such as Korea, India, and Uganda shaped the American church from abroad. Swartz tells stories of evangelicals crossing national boundaries, offering new insights into a tradition that imagines itself as simultaneously American and part of a global communion"--

Book excerpt: Many Christians labor under the false notion that because they are saved, past wounds, hurts, and consequences from mistakes are swept away. Yet they continue to be plagued with spiritual and emotional problems. They long for healing while wondering why they are unable to break free.The answer, says inner healing expert Charles H. Kraft, is that believers need to seek healing and deliverance as steps beyond salvation. Only when Christians are freed from the bonds of oppression deep inside themselves can they walk with the closeness with Jesus they yearn for.Using a proven process he has refined through years of successful deliverance ministry, Kraft leads readers step by step to freedom--and ultimately to healing.

Book excerpt: After His resurrection, Jesus did the most amazing thing: He passed His own authority on to His followers. To you. Right now you possess the same authority as Jesus. Authority to drive demons from people, to heal the sick, to claim protection from harm and harassment. You carry an amazing amount of Holy Spirit power. With incredible insight, respected scholar and teacher Dr. Charles Kraft helps awaken you to the extraordinary authority you have been given through the Holy Spirit--the same Spirit who empowered Jesus. Do you know how to wield it? He will show you how to exercise and release this authority properly and wisely into and over all areas of life--both your own and others'. You can transform and free lives from the oppressing power of Satan. We are at war, but we have the authority and power of Jesus to wage it. Fight with confidence and assurance, knowing that whatever the powers of darkness can muster, you can defeat them. You have the authority of heaven itself. How will you use it? "A remarkable book."--Francis and Judith MacNutt, Christian Healing Ministries
Book Synopsis Positively Powerless by : L.L. Martin
Download or read book Positively Powerless written by L.L. Martin and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2015-12-30 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thou shalt not be negative. A vast movement of positive thinking took the twentieth century by storm and engulfed every area of our lives—including our churches. Put simply, positive thinking became a part of what it means to be an American. But should it be part of what it means to be a Christian? L.L. Martin exposes the eye-opening history of this movement, documenting its roots in occult, mystical, and Eastern religious ideas. Though Christianity came under its power, the two philosophies stand in stark conflict. As a result, Christ was dethroned and the self was made sovereign, rewiring our minds and weakening our faith. This practical book, immersed in Scripture, seeks to reestablish you in a God-centered life. • Deepen your spiritual walk by embracing honesty. • Discover the neglected paradoxes of Christian living. • Learn to live in the grace by which you were saved. Positively Powerless will help you detect the false gospel of positivity and reconnect to your true source of power: the gospel of Jesus Christ. *** Includes questions for personal reflection or group discussion.
Book Synopsis The Powerless Church by : Kathe S. Rumsey
Download or read book The Powerless Church written by Kathe S. Rumsey and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2020-07-07 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As our nation crumbles under our feet, church services promoting society's wisdom do nothing more than appease our soulish nature. The hour is late; we no longer have the luxury of time to waste on fruitless pursuits. Blaming our government and politicians for America's demise is easy. However, contrary to popular opinion, politics is not the force for change Americans need. Revival within the heart of every believer is the answer. The plank in our eye causes us to falsely judge everything around us. If we want God to restore America to her former glory, Christians must repent and pray. We must examine ourselves honestly in spirit, mind and body (Titus 2:11–15; 3:1–11; Jude vs. 3-5, 11–13). Are we light and salt? Has our salt lost its flavor? Our nation's restoration solely depends upon believers responding faithfully to the Word of God. Change begins within the heart of each member of the body of Christ.

Book Synopsis The Peril of Powerlessness by : Dr. D. K. Olukoya
Download or read book The Peril of Powerlessness written by Dr. D. K. Olukoya and published by Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries. This book was released on 2019-05-22 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Powerlessness in the lives of individual Christians and the Church in this generation is disturbing and disheartening. It is the reason the devil is having a field day, stealing, killing and destroying unabated. The hallmark of Christ's followers should be the possession and demonstration of spiritual power. Christ Himself was power personified. His life and ministry were eloquent testimonies to the surpassing and unsurpassable power of God. Lack of spiritual power in the life of His followers is therefore a paradox. This book equips you with all you need to become a carrier and demonstrator of God's power. It is a potent weapon for you to use in dislodging powerlessness from your life and moving into the realm of power generation and exploits.
Book Synopsis Appropriate Christianity by : Charles H. Kraft
Download or read book Appropriate Christianity written by Charles H. Kraft and published by William Carey Library. This book was released on 2005 with total page 662 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Appropriate Christianity consists of 28 chapters by 18 authors approaching contextualization in three dimensions: truth, allegiance and spiritual power. Over the years, there have been quite a number of helpful discussions of the contextualization of theological truth. Though we have been helped greatly by them, it is high time we began to deal also with allegiance and spiritual power, two additional dimensions that Jesus considered of great importance. Any adequate and appropriate treatment of the contextualization of biblical Christianity needs to deal with all three of these "crucial dimensions." For allegiance to Christ is the basis for all we do that makes us Christian, and Jesus was very much into spiritual power. If we are to be truly biblical, we must deal also with these areas. This book is not a festschrift even though it is dedicated to Dr. Dean S. Gilliland, who joined the faculty of Fuller's School of Intercultural Studies in 1977 and has since been developing an emphasis on teaching and research concerning contextualized theology. This is a new textbook aimed at expanding our understanding of contextualization and better enabling us to effectively and appropriately communicate biblical Christianity.
